Same ¥300,000,000 total prize as last year, but this event has a dent in it with Yamashita, Team Iwai, Takeda and The Shinster at Sahalee this week. Starts Thursday for a field of 144 (includes Team Hori) ... top-70 plus ties make the cut. None of the usual sources are available for streaming, although you could try this rogue video YT search:

Practice/Pro-am -
Touring pro Shingo Katayama promised Reika Usui at a golf camp several years ago that he would loop for her if she won ... well, she picked up her first win this year and here he is. The last time he was a caddie was as a 17-year-old high schooler for Jumbo Ozaki in 1990 ... Jumbo finished second and Shingo kept the jumpsuit (I hope he was also paid a few bucks).
*********
Momoko Osato received a prize from Mizuno for her recent win ... she has been using Mizuno Pro 243 irons (7 thru PW) since November.
********
Kana Mikashima and her new chopper work can handle this, whatever it is.

It's a career resurrection opportunity for a lot players this week ...
... including Min Young Lee who is tied for first at -3 thru 11 holes ... hasn't won in almost two years.
... even Hori One opened with 11 straight pars ... her last win was this event in 2013.

Kotone Hori had four birdies and four bogeys.
The birdies are nice, but she needs to stop getting so many bogeys.
Natsuki Hori had no birdies but only one bogey and seventeen pars.

On Wednesday, the FootJoy rep rolled in a caravan of the FJ Prolite model. I never saw this out in the open at an LPGA event ... maybe Ann Cain has been rolling them into the locker rooms, I don't know.
FJ made a "sale" with Erika Hara ...
... and Ayaka Watanabe.
There's no really dominant brand of shoe on the JLPGA .... percentages from last week's event:
FJ 26.9% Nike 21.3 NB 13.9 Adidas 13.0 Ecco 11.0 Puma 7.4

Clean score card by Yui Kawamoto with four birdies no bogeys.
Kotone Hori had three birdies on the front nine.
Started the back nine with two bogeys however made a birdie on last hole for minus two.
Living Legend Yuri Fudoh had five birdies and two bogeys, she still knows how to make birdies.
All three at minus two with a tie for the twenty third place.
Alas, Natsuka Hori couldn't make her second cut plus six today.

Sakura-chan's victory march had a stumble ... lost a stroke while a bunch of players behind her have gained multiple strokes ... but she still leads by three shots thru seven holes. I tried to find a legit working rogue video on YouTube for Round Four ... no luck.
Momoko Ueda on Monday ... yep, she still has them ... 2013 Callaway X-Hot FWs ... you'll have to pry them out of her cold, dead hands.  |

Yui Kawamoto is tied for eleventh place after a minus four today.
She had a par four eagle and five birdies, but a double and a bogey.
Still a lot of players that hasn't finished a stroke better than her.
So she still can get a top ten.
Kotone Hori is even par through seventeen, plus two today.
